• Please read this section carefully to avoid cases where your app automatically exits or is automatically closed when users reject your app's unnecessary or unreasonable permission requests during app installation, running, or use. Reading this section also helps you avoid cases where your app frequently presents pop-up windows or repeatedly applies for permissions unrelated to the current service scenario after users expressly reject your app's permission requests. In addition, by reading this section, you can avoid cases where your app applies for user permissions before informing users of the purposes and usage of such permissions.
• Your app shall not forcibly exit or be closed when users reject your app's permission requests. Your app shall not apply for permissions unnecessary for its services or functions, nor repeatedly apply for permissions unrelated to the current service scenario using frequent pop-up windows.

5.1 The app exits or is closed if users reject the permission request.

If the app requests permissions to access users' phone calls, contacts, location, SMS messages, recordings, camera, storage, calendar, and so on while it is open but users reject such requests, the app shall not exit or be closed.

5.2 The app keeps presenting pop-up windows if users reject the permission request.

If the app requests permissions while it is open but users reject such requests, the app shall not keep presenting pop-up windows to apply for permissions and prevent users from using the app.

5.3 The app does not allow signing up or signing in if users reject the permission request.

The app requests permissions when users sign up or sign in but users reject such requests. In this case, the app shall still allow users to sign up and sign in.

5.4 The app makes frequent permission requests.

If users reject the app's permission requests when the app is open, the app shall not present pop-up windows frequently to apply for permissions unrelated to the current service scenario and affect users' use of the app. When the app is launched again, it shall not frequently apply for permissions unrelated to the current service scenario.

5.5 The app makes excessive permission requests.

When users launch the app for the first time or when the app is open, the app shall not apply for permissions using a pop-up window if users have not begun to use the functions or services that would require such permissions.

5.6 The app applies for irrelevant permissions.

The app shall not apply for permissions such as the access to contacts, location, SMS messages, recordings, camera, and calendar if it is not providing the functions or services that would require such permissions.

5.7 The app does not inform users of the permission request purpose.

When your app requests a sensitive permission from users, it must inform users of the request purpose.

Sensitive permissions: phone calls, contacts, locations, SMS messages, microphone (recordings), camera access, storage, calendar, body sensor, call records, health and fitness information, and others.

Your app must inform users of the request purpose at the time when the request pop-up window is displayed.
